The truck is all spiffed up for the drive back to the boat next week, new brakes, new freon in the ac, oil changed, tires rotated and a slew of other minor things.  Love those Toyota Tundras!  Got to see little Harrison today, I had some gifts from Kitty and Marilyn, I took Ashley’s repaired baby quilt to her, I think she was happy with it, she was very grateful, I’m glad she is a part of our family! Harrison was asleep when I got there but Mommy Ashley went and got him (he was all swaddled up and sound asleep) and let me hold him and watch him sleep in my arms.  We got to chat a little, using our indoor quiet voices, he eventually started to stir so Daddy went and warmed up a bottle for him which I got to give him.  The simple joys of life! I left and when I got back to Leslie’s house we went to the AZ Grand Resort, we booked a room for the night and got 4 passes for the pools and Lazy River.  Wow, what fun that was, the water was the perfect temperature and the giant slides were straight down.  Leslie, Jake and Chief went down the scary ones, I went down the curly tube one for chickens. That was enough fun for me.  We decided we were hungry so we changed clothes and went to TeePee for Mexican food, giant yum! Leslie and Jake stayed at the hotel and David and I came home to babysit the pups.  What a fun day!

    Okay I see the mouse trap game, I believe you had that and we loved putting it together! Does Grant play it?
    Harrison is so precious! Any date for your return to boatland yet?

      Ashley had a friend over and she brought her 9yr? Old daughter. I believe the mouse trap game was for her to play with… it maybe we can play it with Harrison someday too 😀

You haven’t been around until you run aground!

 The ICW was so exciting today.  The tides were with us today, we ran at an average of 8.2knots/1690 rpm’s and our top speed  at full throttle is only 7.9 knots, we got a free ride.  There was a lot of interesting things to see, the houses along the way were gorgeous, we got to watch a guy catching shrimp, several bridges which one of them was a swing bridge.  I find those fascinating!  I started the day by making a loaf of bread for dinner, then 3 loads of  laundry, then 3 hours to give Ellie a haircut, then vacuumed everything (10 minute job) to get all the dog hair off the floors and took a bunch of pics in between chores.  Then the excitement.....we came around a bend and saw the marina we are staying in for the night.  It was not only low tide, but a King Tide. When the moon is full, the high tides are higher and the low tides are lower.  Normally we fit just fine in the marinas but oh no, not when there’s a King Tide.  We were...

Tour of the Battleship Wisconsin

We toured the Battleship Wisconsin today.  We spent 5hours crawling around the ship and we both were in awe.  There’s too much to write about, so today you can just look at the pictures. Here goes: A Navy ship that had one gun manned by a crew of Marines.  This was the Marine emblem drawn by one of the Marine gunners when he was 19.  When he turned 85, the Navy brought him out so that he could climb up on scaffolding in 100 degrees heat.  It took him 4 days to complete the emblem being restored.  He was in heaven that the Navy had honored him with the task. This is gunpowder that is compressed into pellets, there are 256 pellets in one bag, it takes 6 bags to fire one gun one time. Highest point on the ship.  It’s basically the pilot house. The firing of Tomahawk missiles.  They fly 550 mph just above the ground, flying under the radar.  Read the plaque, it’s interesting. These are 5”  barrel guns, the smallest guns on the ship. Read thi...

More chores

 Thank goodness it cooled off today.  It’s 66 right now, perfect in my world, sweatshirt weather to most. David decided to change the oil in the generator, it took him 45 mins and he was happy to have that behind him.  Then he decided to rewire the electric cord that we plug into the dock, he’s been wanting to do that for 2 months.  I got out my sewing machine and finished the bed comforter.  We got to talking to our neighbor in the slip next to us, we both had reservations to go to the little restaurant by the marina office.  As of 3:30 they were open but then closed because they didn’t have enough staff to open for dinner.  There went our dinner plans. Our neighbors invited us to go into town to a restaurant that oysters were the specialty.  Neither David nor I am into raw oysters, so we passed on the oysters. The lift to launch a boat after completing it’s repairs.  Next are drapes and fabric boxes to hide all the junk. We got our crab pic...
